PS1 - All living and nonliving things are composed of matter having characterisitics [properties] that distinguish one substance from another.
2a. Students demonstrate an understanding of characteristics [properties] of matter by recognizing that different substances have properties, which allow them to be identified regardless of the size of the sample.
2b. classifying and comparing substances using characteristics [properties] (e.g. solid,liquid,gas)
National Standards:
NS.5-8.2 Physical Science
As a result of their activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop an understanding
Properties and changes of properties in matter
Context of Lesson:
Duration: 1 period/50min
Students will learn about the third state of matter, the gaseous state, and complete a worksheet in class that will be corrected in class.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge:
Level1&2- Students will read about gases from the book and relate what they have read to answer the questions on the worksheet.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
Students must know there are 3 states of matter.
Plans for Differentiating Instruction:
"A" group reads pg 47 from text, "B" group reads page 9 in "Matter,Matter,Everywhere"
Accommodations and modifications:
Response accomodations; different worksheets may be completed. Responses may be typed.
Setting may be changed to reduce distractions.
Environmental factors:
Materials:
Textbook, gas worksheet
Objectives:
Students will complete a worksheet on the gaseous state of matter.
Instruction:
Opening:
Teacher opens with comments about the "Tissue in a Cup" observations from students.
Brief discussion and questions answered.
Engagement:
Students read text out loud. Teacher asks"How do the particles in a fluid move? (they flow freely) Teacher explains that like liquids, gases are fluids. Asks"Why don't gases have a definite shape or volume?" (gas particles can spread apart or squeeze together, depending on the container). Teacher gives example of a helium balloon that has been released.
Closure:
Teacher has students complete gas worksheet and then goes over it in class.
Homework will be to study for review bingo to earn extra points on the test.
